Hi I'm curious about external lenses. Found some on the net fisheye, macro, wide angle etc. Did anyone ever use these? How they affect photos. I'm thinking to give them a try but don't know anything about lenses and if they worth money or not :silly:
here some link if interested:

I have the photojojo lenses. They work very well. With the fisheye lens you can see a black rim on the edge of the photo. They are attached with a magnet that you put around the rim of the camera lens. I would recommend them. Just so you know the photojojo lenses ane not any different from the no name Chinese ones. They will work with any smartphone camera. Here is a review.
I have , I bought them on amazon , search patazon camera lens kit ,mine came from China but I like them a lot. They where about 17 bucks including shipping.

They're completely worth the money. I have telephoto, fisheye, macro and wide angle lenses. The telephoto lens is particular useful since digital zoom sucks.
Where did you find the telephoto lens and which one. How does it stay on the phone?
I have some pretty cool sometimes I hate carrying the lenses around

Its hard to take a steady shot lol. My hands are real shaky, BTW this is indoor shot with very low light so I used a flashlight to get some light. When you use these lenses the flash is blocked .

It seems like the Photojojo is the most reliable one. But for 50$? Too expensive. Are there any other alternatives in amazon/ebay? It would be awesome if it would be a set.

I bought a cheap one from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007VI3S1M/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
There are cheaper ones, but that is the one I bought. I did not see me using the fisheye so that saved me money.
Here are pictures of an eye and a cable for my headphones. That cable has nasty stuff in it!

hi
We all know that Atrix's camera is one of its down sides.
What are you suggestions to improve quality of photos?
any software, settings, etc?
What settings do you use for your camera?
Sent from my Atrix 4G with XDA Premium App
I guess downloading other apps is the main way to improve it. Nothing can be done about it's poor light capturing sensor tough.
I like the camera I dunno what your talking about. I find the hdr camera really helps.

First of all dont judge the camera by looking at pics on the ATRIX screen, it sucks

Next thing camera is better on GB

Well its not the best (nokia n8 probably is), its good....for a phone. Honestly though have you never used a decent digital camera before? I would never base a phone purchase (at least at this time) on the camera when you could spend $100 buying a used p&s off ebay that would blow the iphone away for photos. If photography is what u care about buy a cheaper phone and a dslr to go with it.

He didn't mention real cameras. In the world of phone cameras, the iPhone 4 is near the top along with Nokia n8. Of course any stand alone camera will blow away any phone camera.

Except a real camera, if picture quality is that important to you then buy a camera. The Atrix camera is fine for a phone and not any worse than the iphone imho.

I've only taken a few photos with the N4 so far,
Generally...
The S3 camera was brilliant inside in well lit shots (photos with flash came out awful) and the N4 can't match that,
The S3 was always slightly off with certain colours outside, the N4 doesn't seem to suffer this problem.
Things I've noticed...
HDR mode works better on the N4,
The N4 lacks image stabilisation which I liked on the S3,
N4 images look slightly less sharp when viewed full size on a pc (not sure if this is due to the lens, less sharpening or more noise suppression),
When viewed on a PC N4 images seem to have better colour in certain situations (for example, outside my daughters pink coat always looked washed out with my S3 but it looks perfect on the N4),
My S3 occasionally did funny things to peoples faces, made them look like they had been slightly distorted, I could never work out what caused it, it just popped up now and again in photos, not noticed this with the N4.
All my comparisons have been done on my PC and not the phone screens.
That's good to know , Cruz the pictures on the actual phone screens u can't compare ,I shall upload and checc on comp as well

What? A lot of people find the Samsung/Touchwiz camera app to be more "feature-filled" than the AOSP one (especially prior to 4.2), so it's not ridiculous. But thanks for your contribution.

For the price this is a great device but if you use your camera a lot and want somewhat good pictures then yeah id stick with the s3 , some people say if you want good pictures buy a dedicated camera but that's not what people are usually asking , night time pictures aren't that great on this or I got a faulty device I guess

Hey Guys,
I'm searching for a good cover for the nexus 7 and I found this. After some research I haven't found any review to this cover on xda, but it looks good!
Anybody has this cover and could give a little review on this? :good:
According to a video on YouTube there are some manufacturing defects on the seam, do you have this problem, too?
Thanks in advance and a happy new year!
Looks just like the Moko Slim Case. There's a review here on xda for that one.
